Having healthy staff leads to better results, reduced costs and happy faces in the cafeteria.
To be an attractive employer, it is important to invest in the health of your staff. It is the employer’s responsibility to create and maintain a good working environment. Giving your staff the opportunity to exercise during the working day benefits the entire company.
After all, we humans are not machines. Energetic and healthy employees can perform better while making the same effort.
An unexpected side effect of a more active lifestyle is an increased ability to concentrate, allowing us to remain focused more easily – especially in open-plan offices.
Partaking in physical activity is actually easier in a group. Also, energetic and happy people interact with each other differently compared to less healthy people.
Stress is sometimes described as a modern day disease. We must take stress seriously in order to protect both the individual and the workplace. Physical activity has a proven positive effect on stress levels.
If staff stay healthier, the need to find replacements decreases in both the short and long term. This is a headache for many managers today who need to ensure the right staffing.
Healthy staff are often happier staff. Dissatisfied people are more likely to want to change employer as poor health can be linked to the workplace.
